An interesting feature:
Marinko Maras glanced at his passport and noticed his visa had expired two months ago. The 17-year-old from Pitt Meadows, living in Kaiserlautern, Germany was caught off guard. His first time living away from home and now this happens. Another reason to worry, another reason to doubt his ever coming to the southwestern German town in the first place. All this for soccer?
When he broached the subject with team management - his Visa expired in January and it was already March, he was shocked by their reaction. They were far from sympathetic.
"They didn't really do anything," said Maras. "They were making jokes about handcuffs and throwing me in jail. I was like, 'Oh my god, you guys are losers'."
